Next week, we'll be looking at "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," probably the best-known of Samuel Coleridge's poems. As always, the club is open to new members as we start a new book.
Be warned, the poem is full of archaic and potentially challenging vocabulary; it is probably a book best read aloud by a parent with the student. (If you're feeling particularly malicious, read it to your children at bedtime.)
The book club meets at 11 a.m. Mondays at my house. We'll be looking at a few things when we discuss the poem, with some discussion over the crimes the mariner and his shipmates commit in the course of the story, and the respective punishments meted out on each. We will meet to discuss the poem at 11 a.m. Feb. 20. It is doubtful this book will require a second week for discussion, given its relative brevity.
The book club is intended for young teens, but is open to anyone who reads the books and is up for the discussions. There is no charge for the group.
Feel free to contact me for directions, or with any other questions.
